Wallhack, previously known primarily for its high-quality glass mouse pads and gaming accessories, is venturing into the highly competitive market for gaming peripherals. With the Wallhack K-001—a 65-percent keyboard featuring magnetic Hall-effect switches—and the ultra-light M-001 mouse with a magnesium casing and hot-swappable batteries, the manufacturer is introducing two products with some truly unique features. However, Wallhack has yet to announce prices or a specific release date.

Key Points at a Glance

  • The K-001 is a 65% keyboard with a CNC-milled 6063 aluminum chassis and Hall-effect switches (KS-TR, developed with Gateron).
  • A notched dial adjusts the actuation point and Rapid Trigger in real time directly on the keyboard—with 0.01 mm resolution.
  • Key technical specifications: 8,000 Hz polling rate, 16,000 Hz scan rate, 0.129 ms latency, configuration via the “Wallhack Terminal” web app.
  • The M-001 features a magnesium chassis, a PixArt PAW3950 sensor with 30,000 DPI, and a removable battery system with a charging station.
  • According to Wallhack, pricing and availability will be announced “very soon.”

Wallhack K-001: 65-Percent Keyboard with Hall-Effect Technology

As a newcomer, Wallhack has little experience in the field of mechanical keyboards—so the company aims to stand out with its materials and technology. The K-001’s chassis is made of CNC-milled 6063 aluminum, shot-blasted and anodized. Beneath it sits a solid, textured silicone base that holds the 1.3-kilogram keyboard firmly in place. The tilt angle can be adjusted between 0, 4, and 7 degrees using two included risers made of milled aluminum—screwed in place rather than folded.

At the heart of the keyboard are the KS-TR switches, developed in-house with switch specialist Gateron. These switches operate on the Hall effect principle, meaning they use magnetic detection to measure how far a key is pressed. This is precisely what enables freely adjustable actuation points and features like Rapid Trigger. The switches come in three spring strengths—Light, Medium, and Heavy—which can be mixed and matched. Wallhack ships the Medium variant as standard; Light and Heavy are available separately at launch.

Rotary Wheel Instead of a Software Menu

Probably the most unusual feature is a notched endless wheel that lets you adjust the trigger point and Rapid Trigger sensitivity directly on the device at any time—with a resolution of 0.01 mm. Those who want more advanced control can use the Wallhack Terminal: a web-based software that runs in the browser without requiring installation. All settings—from gamepad emulation to various SOCD modes to key mapping—are saved directly on the keyboard. The entire system is powered by Wallhack’s in-house electronics platform, Core-MK1, which achieves an 8,000 Hz polling rate, a 16,000 Hz scan rate, and, according to the manufacturer, an input latency of just 0.129 ms.

A note on the connection type: Some reports refer to a “wireless” polling rate. However, on the official product page, Wallhack explicitly lists the K-001 as wired —via a 1.8 m USB-C-to-USB-A cable. A wireless module has not yet been documented for this keyboard.

Focused Lighting and Stealth Design

Wallhack also takes a unique approach to lighting: A special light-guiding structure in the switches directs the light from the per-key backlighting specifically toward the key labels and minimizes stray light between the keys. The custom-made double-shot PBT keycaps, featuring 0.1 mm-precise legends, ensure clean illumination. At brightness level 0, the keycaps appear almost completely black—a “stealth” look that Wallhack highlights as a selling point. The keyboard comes with a carrying case, switch and keycap pullers, a screwdriver, and both risers.

Wallhack M-001: Ultra-Light Mouse with Replaceable Battery

According to Wallhack, the keyboard is only half the equation—the setup also includes the M-001. Its housing is made of a thin magnesium alloy, and the scroll wheel is made of aluminum, which is designed to make this symmetrical mouse a true lightweight. However, Wallhack has not yet announced a final weight.

More Information

Inside, it features the well-known PixArt PAW3950 sensor with up to 30,000 DPI, an 8,000 Hz polling rate, 750 IPS, and 50 G acceleration. Optical Omron switches (D2FP-FN2) handle the clicks. Its standout feature, however, is the hot-swap battery system: The M-001 comes with two interchangeable batteries and a charging station, so a dead battery can be swapped out for a full one in a flash—no more tedious charging via cable.

Price and Availability

And that’s exactly the catch: Wallhack is still keeping its cards close to its chest when it comes to price and launch date. According to the manufacturer, both details are expected to be confirmed “very soon.” Given the choice of materials—solid aluminum, magnesium, and in-house electronics—and its positioning as a premium peripheral, the K-001 in particular is unlikely to be a bargain. Those interested can currently sign up for launch updates via the Wallhack website and Discord server. We’ll update this article as soon as reliable pricing information becomes available.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Wallhack K-001 and M-001

How much does the Wallhack K-001 cost?

Wallhack has not yet announced a price at the time of this announcement. Price and availability are expected to be announced “very soon.” Given the high-quality materials, it’s likely to be positioned in the premium segment.

Is the K-001 wireless?

No. According to the official product page, the K-001 is wired and connects via a 1.8-meter USB-C-to-USB-A cable. The 8,000 Hz polling rate is therefore achieved via the cable.

What makes the K-001’s Hall-effect switches special?

The KS-TR switches, developed in collaboration with Gateron, use magnetic detection to measure key presses. This allows the actuation point to be freely adjusted—on the K-001, even in real time via a rotary dial—and enables features such as Rapid Trigger.

What sensor does the Wallhack M-001 use?

The M-001 features the PixArt PAW3950 with up to 30,000 DPI, an 8,000 Hz polling rate, 750 IPS, and 50 G. It also features optical Omron switches and a replaceable battery system with two batteries and a charging station.

Conclusion: Lots of tech, price remains an open question

As a newcomer to the market, Wallhack has made a confident debut. The adjustable dial on the K-001, the browser-based configuration that requires no installation, and the M-001’s hot-swap battery system are details that show this isn’t just another run-of-the-mill aluminum board with magnetic switches. In particular, the terminal as a pure web app is an approach that many established manufacturers could learn from—think of those annoying driver suites.

The catch remains the lack of pricing information. Only once it’s clear where the K-001 and M-001 stand against market leaders like Wooting, Razer, or SteelSeries will it be possible to assess whether these exciting ideas translate into a genuine purchase recommendation.
